Pompeyexile I think this will be it now for quite a while for my coffee paraphenalia with the Niche being the final edition. Sage DB, Niche Zero, Rock Lever, Rock Grinder, V60, Moka pot with dispersion plate, Aeropress, Clever Dripper, Brewista scales, Techni Vorm Moccamaster.
DavecUK Pompeyexile A nice collection of kit there….you are holding up the side of team coffee very well.
Emc2 Lelit Bianca, Niche zero, Chemex, Moka pot and modified Super Jolly (not pictured). Clever and Aeropress at work.
DavecUK Emc2 Another very neat setup…I see that particular counter top is smaller than normal, so the side positioning of the tank on Bianca really helps you.
Emc2 DavecUK The cupboards above would have made refilling difficult. Aesthetically the look is probably not great but it’s very practical.
Waitforme @Emc2 I’ve got the tank on mine at the rhs and keep the dosing cup etc just in front of it , I think it works well. I put felt pads on the feet to ease sliding the machine out to refill.
prezes Had a bit of work done on the kitchen and ended up with smaller space for the coffee corner. Still getting to grips with it but replaced knock out box with a drawer as a stand for niche which works really well. No need to pull the machine out to refill the tank though !
DavecUK prezes it all looks really good very neat very functional, but one thing I don’t like is standing grinders on knock boxes. In fact I wonder if the chap who recently had, I say recently probably a year ago had the burrs in the niche rusted together or something was standing his grinder on a knock box, I never thought to ask. For me the issue is a grinder standing on a box containing damp pucks, and there’s a vent normally on the top of the box I think yours is on the front. I guess if you use the knock box for storing accessories that’s absolutely fine, which is all I use my knock box for, but if you’re putting damp coffee packs in it I would imagine the water vapour comes out of the front vents.
prezes DavecUK thanks Dave, I was thinking about that. The vents are up the front so not covered by niche but just to be on the safe side I keep the drawer open for few minutes after knocking out to get most of the steam out. I will keep my eye on it though!
Hotmetal This is a bit of an old pic I found on my computer but as I have not yet figured out how to post images on here when logged in on my mobile, this will have to do. Pic is from about 2016 when I got the E37s. Essentially the same setup, except I also have a little Motta jug and a proper Coffee Catcha that Systemic gave me. And Jake’s Black Mirror scales, with which I am largely happy. (The beeper stopped working, but it was annoying anyway so I am not too bothered!)
Alexvs My now complete set up, however the wife says I can’t keep a whole corner so likely the Osmio will move somewhere else lol.
Doram Alexvs My now complete set up, however the wife says I can’t keep a whole corner so likely the Osmio will move somewhere else lol. I agree with your wife. You can’t have the most visually prominent element of the coffee corner be the water cleaner! 😂
Alexvs HVL87 Doram I know her reaction when the box was placed on the doorstep was, you’re not having that on my kitchen side! We’ll find somewhere a bit less cluttered I feel as could do with more space for my coffee craft lol.
Goodfella Just over a month in with this machine after having a Sage Oracle. Still awaiting a knockbox and bottomless portafilter that are on back order but the coffee is goooood! Cheers Ross
Ernie1 Goodfella Looks awesome. If that sideboard is anything like the Danish teak in our house I admire the bravery in getting water and cups anywhere near it!
PortafilterProcrastinator Goodfella A great looking set up. I aspire to that level of order and cleanliness! Maybe once the kids are grown up.
Goodfella Grif Can’t take any credit for that, Lance Hendrik mentioned it Ernie1 It’s a hand me down from my grandparents, any drop of water does leave a mark ( hence the table mats on the left) but it wasn’t perfect when I got it. A little oiling helps. Nothing has come out of the bottom, yet! I was going to install a more kitchen like bar but I really like the look and it works as a coffee/drinks bar. Cheers Ross
